    Fish ID

    What kind of fish is this? Looks kind of like a puffer with blue lines and dots but also kind of has horns like those you would see on a small cowfish.

    Stock list suggestions

    Hello, I'm in the process of reviving my old fowlr tank and trying to convert it to a reef tank. I see the general consensus is to now ignore the old "inch per gallon" rule when it comes to stocking the tank, so what is a realistic stock list of forgiving and hardy fish/corals/inverts for my...

    what the heck IS THAT!

    So I came down stairs to stare at my aquarium while on a Zoom call and ran across this white squiggly looking thing on my glass. I’m assuming some type of eggs from something but I do not know what. Any ideas?

    I wish there was a _______!

    Fill in the blank. It could be anything aquarium related. From fish, equipment, treatments, products, whatever. I wish there was an auto adjusted skimmer based on the organic matter in the water. Secondly, I also wish my wallet could afford all the fish/corals I want.

    Reinforcing floor, which bid should I pick?

    I got a couple of bids from contractors to reinforce the floor for a 200 Gallon peninsula spanning ~4 joists. I live in the Seattle area for context, and I was surprised by how big a difference in price they both came in at for about the same materials and work. I was hoping a contractor could...

    Tang Identification

    Had a tang sold to me as a Atlantic Blue...but upon closer inspection I’m thinking it might be a purple. What do you guys think? I’ll try to get better pictures later as I just did a water change.
